Here for it! 👏🏽

Netflix is moving forward with a sequel/spinoff series of the beloved ’90s sitcom A Different World, centered once again at Hillman College.

Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison are confirmed to reprise their iconic roles as Whitley Gilbert-Wayne and Dwayne Wayne.

Cree Summer and Darryl M. Bell will also return as Freddie Brooks and Ron Johnson in recurring roles.

The new chapter centers on Deborah Wayne, the daughter of Whitley and Dwayne, as she begins her freshman year at Hillman and works to define her own identity and legacy. A new generation of students will join the cast alongside her.

Original series powerhouse Debbie Allen returns as executive producer and will direct multiple episodes, including the premiere, with Felicia Pride serving as showrunner alongside original writers and producers.

The revival will consist of 10 half-hour episodes, filming in Atlanta in early 2026, with no official Netflix release date announced yet.Here for it! 👏🏽

Great songs are timeless!

#DianaRoss' “Upside Down” debuts at No. 12 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, becoming a U.S. bestseller once again. The song’s resurgence is driven by its feature in the opening episodes of #StrangerThings season five, which sparked a 373% surge in streams following the show’s release.

Sending prayers to their friends and family.

May they both rest in peace. 🙏🏽

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is calling out Disney’s new partnership with OpenAI!

The WGA says the deal appears to “sanction its theft of our work” and gives the value of writers' creations to a tech company that built its business on their backs.

The WGA alleges the deal exploits the work of its members to train AI models. Because of this, the union is demanding a meeting with Disney to fully investigate the terms of the deal, particularly concerning the use of WGA members' work in user-generated videos.

The union pledges to "continue to fight to protect our members' creative and economic interests in the context of AI technology." This is the latest battle in Hollywood over AI’s impact on creative rights and compensation.
